Lazarus Lynch, Black Queer Anthem | Track Review 🎵

Black gay artist, intellectual, and activist Lazarus Lynch delivers a short but must-hear LGBTQ+ gem with “Black Queer Anthem.”

Safe to say, 🎙 Lazarus Lynch is fearless.  Honestly, more people should have the fearlessness and bravery of this self-described black gay artist, intellectual, and activist.  A prime example of his fearlessness is his assertive, bold new single, 🎵 “Black Queer Anthem”.  The title alone is enough to make conservatives, homophobes, and racists cringe in sheer ire.  I’m pretty sure Lynch is like, ‘bring it on.’

“Black Queer Anthem” only runs two-minutes-and-change, but that is ample time for Lynch to share both black and queer pride alike.  Honestly, it is an intriguing listen that latches instantly.  The vocals are distorted intentionally, adding a gritty tone to support Lazarus’ cause – thoughtful musical, activist move.  Furthermore, the production is anchored by hard, pummeling drums that scream and incite a march for justice.  The groove is enough to feel this track, sparking body movement but also passion. Lyrically, Lynch keeps it repetitive and simple, constructing a surefire vibe, call for action, and empowering the black, queer army.  Hopefully, allies join the cause as well as Lazarus is preaching good stuff.

Final Thoughts 💭

To be incredibly simple, “Black Queer Anthem” speaks volumes.  Again, when you have such a bold title, there is no way that the content of the song can possibly disappoint.  Queer artists are still coming into their own, let alone black queer artists – a double minority if you will. Thankfully, Lazarus Lynch constructs a perfect, necessary anthem to exhibit pride for being true to self without hesitation or reservations.  We all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, religion, or political affiliation, need to take a page out of this man’s book.
